The Rockets are one win or Pistons loss from assuring they won’t have sole possession of the worst record in the league. Though they are locked in as one of the three teams with the best lottery odds, they could move to the third-worst record and a chance to fall as far as to seventh in the draft. But they have lost eight of their past nine games and are 5-5 in their past 10 home games after losing 17 of 19 in Toyota Center.
Green, who started on Sunday, made just 1 of 5 3s on against the Warriors, and just 28.4 percent this season. DeAndre Jordan started against the Suns, with Thomas Bryant getting the start against the Pelicans in the other two games Jokic has missed.Bringing the defense The Nuggets have had the sixth-ranked defense in the NBA in the past three games. Overall this season, the Nuggets have had the 14th rated defense.
